Maintain pristine water quality via filtration and daily partial water changes. That is the foundation for recovery. Drop the water temp gradually to about 75-76 F. The organism responsible for the infection thrives at temps in the low to mid 80s F. Use a broad spectrum antibiotic containing metronidazole. A Maracyn/Maracyn 2 combo may also help. Choose one treatment or the other. Find these products in the Aquarium section of the local pet store. Follow the label directions carefully and remove the carbon filter insert during treatment. Add an air stone or to to increase oxygenation.
